Default Looking for info LS6 power potential

I'm convinced that a Naturally Aspirated LS6 with the proper heads, valvetrain, cam, intake, ignition, exhaust, any bolt-ons, and a near perfect tune can run about 600 HP at the crank. Has anyone pulled this off?

Thanks

Im sure it can be done if you go with a big enough cam, thats right around 520ish at the wheels with the drivetrain loss

Well, some people get near 540-560 crank N/A, but you might not do this very easily without a solid roller setup. Not necessarily a bigger cam. It would be a whole different setup. And that may not even be the way. Honestly man, this question gets asked about 16 times a day, and it turns into a an all out **** match. Moving to Internal.

They are called BIG ALUMINUM GERNADES.

An na LS6 putting out that much HP (maybe) will have a very radical cam, forged everything, very expensive and probably run race gas.
